The Gandhi Memorial building in Kanyakumari of India is uniquely designed. Inside it each year on the birthday of Mahatma Gandhiji (October 2nd) sunrays fall on the place where his ashes were kept (for immersion in the seas) through a hole on the roof! Likewise sunlight also enters into the inner sanctum sanctorum of a Pillaiyar (Elephant -faced God) temple at Uppur of South Tamilnadu on the east coast (near Rameshwaram). It happens only at certain festival day!These are architectural WONDERS like that of the StoneHenges!View and read in:http://www.kanyakumari.nic.in and http://www.webindia123.com/tamilnadu/tourism/kanyakumari/htm#g

Vivekananda Rock Memorial is at Kanyakumari of India. The top of easternparapet wall of this memorial presents some markings: Sun's yearly deviations on its sojourn overhead from East to the West from season to season have been represented by stone line carvings. With such similar lines of astronomical precision the StoneHenges might have been planned and erected by the Druids!View and read also in:http://www.nanjilonline.com/touism/vivrock.asp and www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivekananda_Rock_Memorial

At Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India, there is a confluence ofthreeSeas. There a legend goes in praise of theGoddess: the crew of the ships arriving there mistook the light emanating from the nose ring of the Goddess in the temple, as that of a light-house and their ships crashed against the rocks of the shore. The Druids were alsoattracted by the Sun to build the StoneHenges in wise way to harness its power!

The Druids, the ancient priests from the Celtic race who had built the Saracen Stone Henges, used Indo-European language. The Aryans of India too used that language as the Druids did. So, Druids could have had the same culture and religious rituals as that of Indo-Aryans! (After all, culture, traditions and rituals pass over from one race to the other through the common language used, isn’t it?). Hence, the StoneHenges related religious rituals also might have been similar to that of Indians.

Druids, the priests from the Celts of Britain are said to have built the StoneHenges. They must have thought like this: at certain periods of the year plants come out of soil and grow tall by getting the power from the Sun. Why our human race could not get power from the Sun too? To harness the power of sun, the priests could have used their astronomical knowledge to calculate the periods of solar activity and to find the important positions on their land where the infrastructures – the Stone Hengesmay be installed. Then they built the Stone Henges with the inner stones fixed in the important positions. The regularly arranged inner stones might have represented the seat positions of the King’s court. At certain periods of the year when the sun’s power could be harnessed the most, the King’s court could have assembled there and taken their special seats. Then the rituals might have been started to bestow the stability and sovereignty to the king’s court and hence to the entire kingdom.

A stone is implanted in the earth’s soil either to mark a position of something, or border a large property with other similar stones implanted around. So in the case of StoneHenges the outer circle of stones bordered the inner important positions of inner stones. Thus the inner important positions (property) could have been guarded as the right of the owners to ward off others and to warn them not to enter into the territory!

http://www.destination360.comsays ‘….bronze fragments had been found near the site of Stone Henges denoting the Bronze Age….’ In India all Hindu temples have bells made of bronze, mounted on an iron rod over two upright stones. A conjecture: such erection of bell on stones resembles Stone Henges! Bronze bells could have been attached below the horizontal stones of stone henges. Probably the fragments of these bells might have been seen around the henges. This also in turn indicates the purpose of Stone Henges: Religious rituals!

In the state of Tamil Nadu, here in India, one could see structures similar to the isolated Stone Henges along the rural roadsides. They are called 'WeightRests' (' sumai thaangi' in Tamil language). They were erected in the memory of deceased persons and to help the tired travelers to put their luggage on the top and take rest underneath. But the conjecture about the presence of an interrupted circle with the henges rules out the purpose of Stone Henges - they were built in the memory of deceased persons.
